Goodbye Winter

Yesterday I went with my friends Andrew, Keelan, and Grant up to Pemene Falls. The occasional patches of snow in the forest made me realize that winter was truly over and had no more chances of survival. The one thing I will miss most about winter will be the way it brings people together inside homes and other establishments. I also enjoy seeing the trees get caked with snow, but I will definitely not miss the snow. I have had enough of the slippery roads and shoveling.

I'll miss snowball fights, making snowmen and snow angels, and forts. I'll miss the defiant crunch under your boots and you step outside after a fresh coat has powered the land the night before. I'll miss sledding down an icy hill on an old, orange plastic sled that I've had for as long as I can remember. Most of all I'll miss the feeling after you are flailing through the air, but miraculously regain your footing and feel like a total bad ass, even though you must have looked so foolish. I love winter.
